Hyper-Melancholy is an ode to adolescence: that inexplicable combination of arrogance, bashfulness, ignorance, longing, loving, kindness, impulsiveness and stupidity. The longing
to be something
to be somebody
to be somebody's somebody
to be be wanted
to love
to be loved.
It's the ignorance and arrogance to think you can have it all. The impulsiveness and stupidity to try to. It is trying to be genuine when you don't know what that is. Saying feelings in the moment they are felt. The common insecurity, the fear of not being enough, never making it, of peaking now. Though you can't help but live now and not think about the future. Still, you worry too much, talk too much, listen too little.
Exposed, yet afraid of vulnerability. These works are a reflection of my own longings, which I inadvertently project onto everyone I photograph. It may be a picture of them, but the emotions are my own. The longing, the angst, the desires (and the fear of never fulfilling them)--they're all mine.
